Most definitely haha, will be sure to keep that in mind. For those of you who have to dress up "business casual" to go to work, is it difficult during the winter? GE essentially wants me to be dressed up with a dress/button down shirt and khakis - should I just buy some nice outdoor/waterproof boots and change when I get to work?

Everyone thanks for the great advice/suggestions - super helpful; moving to a new place without knowing anyone there is admittedly very frightening but everyone here is making the process a whole lot better for me! KJP, that Rays MTB place looks insanely cool; I'm actually really into skateboarding, snowboarding, and cycling so I'll definitely check out that place. Since both Los Angeles and Boston are places without winters as "harsh" as Cleveland, I was wondering what types of clothing I might want to prepare. I stocked up on some thin thermal underwear and a few dressy wool coats as well as a pair of down jackets, do I need snow boots?

I can't wait to move to Cleveland! I'm starting to notice little things in my life that have some tie to Cleveland. I received a watch during graduation made by Ball Watch Co, and I only recently realized that the company was originally from Cleveland, OH!

Thanks everyone and KJP thanks so much, I was hoping someone could do that to reduce clutter! :)

Awesome, I was thinking the same thing. It says I get a view of the Colonial Arcade but I'm not sure what that means. I looked up pictures of Colonial Arcade, and it seems like its a beautiful historic building, but I'm not sure how I get a view of that, wondering if it is attached to it?

Hi Everyone, I posted earlier looking for a place to stay during my 6-month long internship with GE and I narrowed it down to a few areas. I have finally decided between 2 different 1-bedroom units: one is in the Warehouse District, in Bridgeview Apartments, with a river view and the other is at The Residences at 668 (Euclid Ave) 2nd story (don't think it has a view of Euclid). Prices are nearly the same with parking and internet factored in; even the square footage is within 10 sq ft of each other. My question is, which one is the better apartment, I am really torn between the two and can't really choose. Thanks for any advice that you can give, as I need to pick soon! Thanks, David

I will definitely be checking out Coventry but does anyone have specific suggestions (which blocks, certain apartment complexes?)

That sounds good, thanks very much - I will definitely be calling them tomorrow. Do you have any input about the general area nowadays?

Wow, what a coincidence, was looking at Bridgeview today! Do you know anything about their 1 Bedroom units (the one that is vacant has a river view, don't know if that's good...) Thanks!

Hey Htsguy, I'm definitely ok with driving approximately 20 minutes to Nela Park (seems like anywhere Downtown will result in a drive like that). Problem is, I don't know which area within Downtown to look. I've looked at the East 4th area but the complexes actually on that block don't welcome short term leases. So far I've found a few places: -Bridgeview Apartments (Warehouse District) -Reserve Square (very mixed reviews, is this place even good? The price seems reasonable) -668 looks great (it's on Euclid) but it's full right now Also, you're absolutely right! I really am looking for a newer building, the area I'm originally from in Los Angeles is a really quaint "old with charm" town so I'm looking to try to experience the best area the city has to offer!

Hi everyone, This is my first post on city-data so I'll just give a quick intro I'm a university student from Boston preparing to embark on a 6-month internship at General Electric (in Nela Park). I will be moving out to Cleveland end of December to get settled and prepare for work, which begins early January! Not knowing anyone from Cleveland, I was wondering if you all could provide me with some advice or suggestions as to where to live in Cleveland. I prefer living by myself and here are some factors that might help you suggest a location: -Safety is really important for me -Rent anywhere from 700-1100/month -Will have a car to commute to Nela Park -Prefer young or upscale community -Great accessibility to shopping, food, groceries, etc (general convenience) All in all, I just want to be in a nice place suitable for a young person like myself! I've done a lot of research but I haven't had much luck so please give specific suggestions if you have any (names of complexes, etc) Currently, I'm looking in the Downtown area, but I'm not sure if that's a good choice (what do you guys think?) I am open to other advice anyone might have for a 20 year old getting ready to move out to Cleveland (I'm originally from Los Angeles but study in Boston). Thanks!
